The Mazdatrix lip looks decent and functional and is only $150.00.

 

I just looked at it If you are talking about the urethene one I was looking at these on ebay and they average $95 shipped. This style one happens to be the one she picked

 

Yeah I have seen one of those, hopefully the fitment is good. I think the Jew89 has one of those.

 

Looks like autotrader was a wise investment. I have a second person looking at the 8 tomorrow. The first guy sounded like he was fairly serious, so depending on how that goes, the second guy might not have a chance lol.

 

Good luck!! If not I may have to test fit the Volks

 

Ok no Python Lounge yet. The health inspector has them changing some stuff and they will open on Tuesday...

 

Well, it looks like it's sold. Met with a guy tonight and he hit within my target range. He's doing it via loan, so there's a chance that process might produce some problems, but assuming everything goes well, it's sold.

 

Congrats.

 

I haz new strut barzzz......

 

Just stopping by to wish the hubby a very Happy Birthday today...so Happy Birthday Cornholio..AKA..the hubby!!

 

Happy birthday Cornholio.

BTW, great pass on those Mint Blue parts… they’re not nearly clean enough to complement the lines of the 8. To boy racer IMHO.

Congrats on the strut bars too. I’m curious, what do you think of the front two-point Panda strut bar as compared to your old four point brace? (Not sure who manufactured it, but it wasn’t the JIC version).

 

Thanks

and my wifes Yellow 8 has the 4 point strut bar it is from Corksport...


I can tell on mine however the rear brace stiffened up the back nicely...

 

well damn.... im glad i didnt take my date there last night, would have been bad lol

 

Happy Bday Mike

 

the new strut bars look good!
too bad it won't work if you have a sub in the back.... =/

 

Looks good man!! Hope you got my Happy Birthday text yesterday.

 

It can. There's a box that's fit to the little extended sides of the trunk... definitely eats up some of the more useable space of the trunk, but it would be an option.

 

Plenty of room for this ....

 

Got and thanks.....

 

Now, anyone have any ideas how I can mount that ^ and this?

My new bottle mount Sorry for the shitty cell pic.

 

Well, as usual, the first deal seems like it didn't work out. I have 2 more guys lined up so hopefully one of them will work out better.

 

^ That sucks. So you planning to sell with wheels on?

 

If possible, I will. I basically have set a limit of what I'm willing to accept with the wheels and if that offer isn't met, I'll tell them to consider stock wheels or call it a day. I know what I could reasonably get for the wheels with relative ease, so I'm not going to waver much from that value + the value of the car.

Fortunately, I had 2 more guys who were very interested in the car at the same price as the deal I had agreed on. About to head into class, so talking with one of them in a couple hours. He said he was pre approved for his loan so it sounds like I have another serious offer.

The guy that just fell through was approved and ready, but apparently didn't see his interest rate (15%) and couldn't find anything better, which is why he backed out.

 

Damn 15%? Wow.


FYI: Anyone who thinks they may need a clutch in the foreseeable future would be crazy not to get this. I replaced mine last year so i don't need it.

Ebay has two more for just $10 more. Doesn't seem like much of a deal at the moment.
